The 2026 edition of Itzulia Basque Country continues this afternoon with a short individual time trial in the city of Bilbao.
The opening 13.8 km test will start with the riders facing the Cat.3 climb, Alto de Santo Domingo, before a long descent down the city and to the finish line.
The first rider down the six-day WorldTour stage race will be Georg ZImmerman (Lotto-Intermarché) at 1430 CET, with local hero Mikel Landa (Soudal-QuickStep) completing the day’s race at 1723 local time.
Undefeated in the Itzulia Basque Country time trials since 2017, Primoz Roglič (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) will be one important name to follow, with an early start of 14:46. Other top contenders include Antonio Tiberi (Bahrain-Victorious) in 15:29, Brandon McNulty (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) in 16:41, former Itzulia winner Juan Ayuso (Lidl-Trek) in 17:15 and Isaac del Toro (UAE Emirates-XRG) in 17:17.
Last year’s opening ITT in the Basque Country of Itzulia was won by Max Schachmann (Soudal-QuickStep), not racing this year.
